I genuinely think pot of greed wouldn’t even be that great

Psychological torture is still torture
- Comment on When bad guys capture you, instead of torture, they should just have someone charming take you out for drinks. 4 days ago:
That’s what you do if you actually want info. Torture is just for the sadism, it isn’t effective.

Why would they arrest themselves or their friends?
- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 1 week ago:
Over time they realised that, while holiday windows or whatever have high sales, if there’s a better or more popular game coming out then, yours will just be forgotten.
That said, most “industry specialists” are just glorified influencers, so take it with a grain of salt
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 1 week ago:
Israel is just a US proxy. In fact, a lot of the operations that happen in gaza are actually done by the US, UK and/or France, but that doesn’t get publicized for obvious reasons.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 1 week ago:
Trump is continuing democrat policy on Gaza, so yes, just another obvious proof that they are two sides of the same coin.

Removing sinophobia =/= censorship.

China does good thing Average lemmitor: this is bad actually
- Comment on SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE 2 weeks ago:
A few years from now people will have nostalgia about these early fediverse days and the weird and lame stuff like “the fediverse chick”
- Comment on Gaming has a polarization problem 3 weeks ago:
With the amount of 9s and 10s coming out, why would you waste time with a 7? The polarisation is just an effect of the language of clickbait spreading in society, but doesn’t change the fact that average games are probably not worth your time.
- Comment on We all deserve better than this 3 weeks ago:
There was a window where the AMD 6000 series were cheap and readily available, which was probably your best bet. Now we have to wait the AI bubble to burst. Hopefully.
- Comment on Canceled Wonder Woman 'Was Gorgeous and Expansive,' Comic Book Writer Who Consulted on the Game Says 3 weeks ago:
Every game that didn’t get made is the greatest game of all time in someone’s head.
- Comment on An Extended Look at Pokémon Legends: Z-A 4 weeks ago:
I hope this is still early in development. You can’t have a game set exclusively in a city where buildings look like that.
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 5 weeks ago:
Then why didn’t they respect the two Minsk agreements?
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 5 weeks ago:
NATO has been encircling Russia for decades. You just want to justify it as “people choosing democracy” when the fall of USAID and NED just shows that they were regime change operations orchestrated by the US. If peace was the point, the Minsk agreements would have been respected. If saving lives was the point, the UK wouldn’t have told Zelensky to fight a war they couldn’t win. Nothing about this conflict has been about ukrainian interests. It always was and still is about russian and american interests. You want to argue that what Russia is doing is imperialism, but it is the US that wishes to balkanize the country, and THAT is actual imperialism. But of course that wouldn’t bother you.

The Euromaidan was a coup orchestrated by the west, it’snot a matter of opinion, you just think it was a good thing.
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 1 month ago:
They weren’t independent since 2014

Are you arguing that doing everything the US wants, to the point of signing away 50% of every cent made from your natural resources, some sort of freedom? The fact of the matter is that neutrality suited the people of Ukraine very well, but not NATO.
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 1 month ago:
I’m not?
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 1 month ago:
They weren’t independent before and will not be after the war. Just the master will change, maybe.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 month ago:
The average non-tech person only has a phone. And maybe a shared family notebook if at any point someone needed a computer for things that you can’t do on the phone (like filing taxes and such).
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 1 month ago:
If they have the gun and you don’t, what’s the alternative?
- Comment on Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating 1 month ago:
There’s nothing that can be done, Russia is winning on the battlefield. At this point negotiating suits Ukraine, not the other way around.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Guild Wars 2
- Comment on McDonald's Australia and Netflix launch Squid Game Meal 2 months ago:
They made an actual reality show competition with prizing based on squid game. It’s all just aesthetics to these people.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 4 months ago:
For a new player sword and shield is the easy mode. Magic tends to make you squishy, and if you aren’t great at not dying getting your souls to the spell merchants is rough (if even know how to do their quests)
- Comment on Ads 5 months ago:
Most creators have patreons. The big ones take sponsorships also. The pittance they get from any ads I may have watched do not matter.
- Comment on Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change? 5 months ago:
Yes, not only many people still play the same games for 10 years, but also spend most of their gaming time in them. There’s a reason why a new live service game is both a gold mine and also incredibly difficult to stick.
